Were you also an onlooker?

Sometimes I ponder if I will 

Linger as an agog onlooker…

I wonder how it would feel to

Step up as the salient character.

Until the timely moment strikes

I will lurk within the shadows,

Wait between the sidelines,

Just beyond the theatre’s valance,

Watching your show unravel.

Should you fancy me there,

Seize my hand, I’ll be there.
